I've been thinking about the political climate in our nation. It seems to have escalated into a full blown, take no prisoners, win at all costs, war. Use propaganda to twist the truth to make your side look good. Focus on the positives, ignore the negatives. Hire mercenaries to do the dirty work. Proclaim your cause as that of one for Righteousness and Justice. Allie yourself with whomever will make victory certain, because that is what is important above all else. Identify all who oppose you as the "enemy". For best results associate your enemy with Satan, or for a broader base of support, evil. Paint a picture of armageddon. Divide and conquer.
This seems to be the political climate in our nation. What happened to a nation built with the tools of debate and compromise for the preservation of our Union, for the greater good of the people?

Did you see the maps showing that the red states were mostly slave states and blue states were mostly free states just prior to the civil war? I thought it was interesting that our nation is divided in much the same way nowdays. Interested because that was the pre-civil war split.
Who knows how close we could be to revolution.
Yes, there is something to that. I'm tired of those maps because they do a disservice to the diversity that exists in all of those states. Such as our states being red states. I'm definitely not red, and I don't plan on moving because of it. If anything I'll stay to dilute the pool.
Well as soon as we move there, it will be a blue state again! (At least there's a chance.)
